On October 7, 2001 the first section of our troop climbing wall was
installed. At the October 8th troop meeting, the Ventures attached
their homemade handholds. Soon we hope to add the other five sections
of this 15'x15' wall.

This first section consists of a vertical sheet of plywood with
numerous holes to insertour homemade handholds. Both the placement and size of the
handholds willdetermine the difficulty of the climbing route.

Venture crew advisor Ken Bonenberger shows "how it is done" plus
gives a perspective to the current size of the project.

Here are a few close ups of the handholds our Ventures designed
and created.
